Swim Meet Time Standards

TRAINING GROUPS:

Swimmers are placed in a group that fits both their grade in school/age and appropriate skill level.  Swimmers develop at different speeds.  Our groups are designed to "overlap" to allow the swimmer time to practice the skills needed at the rate that is appropriate for their current ability level.
